Subic, Coastal municipality in Zambales, Philippines.

Located along the northern coast of Subic Bay, the municipality stands 60 meters above sea level and extends 66 kilometers from the provincial capital of Iba.

Spanish explorer Juan de Salcedo established the settlement in 1572 during his northern Luzon expedition, leading to Augustinian friars converting local inhabitants from 1607.

The 16 barangays of Subic maintain Filipino traditions through local events that feature regional dances, music performances, and food preparation methods.

The Olongapo-Bugallon Road serves as the main transportation artery, connecting Subic to Manila at a distance of 138 kilometers and Olongapo at 12 kilometers.

The former naval base transformed into the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, creating an economic hub that combines maritime facilities with commercial development.
